Ooh... new patch notes! ... Wait...

I get why people want it, but why would they expect it? We've never had 2 unlocked currencies at the same time, even at the release of 2.0. Based on past history, I wouldn't expect Poetics to be unlocked until the expansion.

But you do know that Poetics will prolly just disappear altogether with the expansion, right? They are coming out with two new tomes in Heavensward which will make them not useable. And let face it, by the time the expansion drops, ironworks will be worthless, so why not just let us gear our other jobs now while it still worth something.

Ironworks won't be worthless for awhile, at least in the late 50's, possibly still on the low end of level 60 gear. That was what they mentioned before. Also for people without the expansion, they likely will keep in Soldiery/Poetics for awhile after.

I posted right when you did and saw yours about the ironworks. I was going by how they've handled tomes in the past, where Myth has become no longer useable and so in thinking that once HW dropped it would push Soldiery out for good, Poetics where Myth is now and then the two new one's. I suppose they could keep Poetics open in that case. Who to say~ Guess we'll see when we get to that point ^.^

I don't expect Poetics to disappear. What about people that didn't purchase the expansion?

That's another discussion for another thread, though. ^^

In any case, Ironworks/Dreadwyrm gear will probably be fine until we get Alexander. I can't see them leaving people that have cleared the old endgame content (or ground out the tome gear) needing to gear up again just to enter the new raid. Just because we're going to 60 cap doesn't mean the equipment has to suddenly become useless.
